My name is Akanksha and I have been working on and off for about 2 years with Açı. I am originally from India, but love being in Istanbul and a part of a fun English Department Team in Açı Middle School. I am currently working with kids in grades 6 and 7 in a variety of projects meant variously to engage, entertain, and promote social awareness. Our main "gang" of students for the GVC Clubhouse initiatives will be a group of 6th graders. We are looking forward to a lot of fun on this wiki!
